Based on both reports, the fight started when younger players questioned the team's seniors on their leadership and effort in the Sun Bowl (USC had effort problems this season? You don't say ... ). ESPN.com said, in particular, a freshman questioned senior quarterback Matt Barkley on why he didn't play. Barkley injured his shoulder in the second-to-last game of the season.

I question whether they're really leaders or not. If the thought of 20-something shirtless, teenage boys storming the meeting room screaming "wild-boyz!" at the top of your lungs appeals to you, I question your judgement.

Kiffin has been underwhelming everywhere he's ever gone. Not only a terrible person, but a terrible football coach.

Yet somehow he manages to con his way to the next great job...He has never coaced well anywhere..But he somehow cons Tennessee and SoCal into hiring him...His only claim to fame is that he can shoot 5 start recruits a line of bs second to none...He promptly coaches them down to 2 and 3 star performance levels...A true mystery among the coaching hiring/firing dynamic

Don't forget, Lane Kiffin got the SoCal job because we was a "SoCal guy" (meaning he had a natural douche-tastic quality) plus ol' Monte was there to create the necessary clout since he didn't have any.
